A "Truth to Power" lyric from Kendrick Lamar ("The Heart Pt. 2")

Artist: Kendrick Lamar Song: The Heart Pt. 2 Released: September 14, 2010

Lyric:

We used to beefing over turf, fuck beefing over a verse Niggas dying, motherfuck a double entendre

Context (via Genius):

Growing up in Compton, Kendrick is certainly familiar with street life and gangs beefing over territory—often resulting in death.

Kendrick acknowledges the pointlessness of subliminal disses and grudges within the music industry in the face of larger real-life issues such as gang violence. He foregoes his own affinity for wordplay (e.g. double entendre) in favor of remaining blunt about the truth of the matter.
